Chapter 184: The Weird Mine

Staying here for a while, seeing that nothing happened, the two began to rush towards another miner. On the way, neither of them dared to be careless. If there was any mistake, they would suffer if they were sprayed with the spirit swallowing insect.

A whole morning passed like this, and the calm in the mine was a little scary. The mine on the eighth floor was much smaller than Xiao Chen originally imagined.

The densely packed routes on the map look scary, but most of them are dead ends, and there are not many places to patrol. I think this is probably why only two people are needed to patrol here.

In fact, in Xiao Chen's view, even if there are no two of them here, there will be no serious problems. From the ten Martial Lords guarding the headquarters, if two of them are randomly selected, they can easily complete their work.

In just one morning, the two inspected the entire mine, took out the dry food they carried with them, and began to rest on the spot.

Mu Xinya didn't stop chattering for a moment, and she asked as soon as she sat down, "Senior Brother Ye, do you think there is any pattern in the appearance of these spirit devouring insects?"

During the inspection just now, the two found some spirit devouring insects, but they all ran away quickly before the two made a move, which made people feel helpless.

Xiao Chen really didn't notice the pattern, so he couldn't help asking: "What did you see?"

Mu Xinya chuckled and said, "This girl has clairvoyant eyes, of course she can tell. Where are the spirit-eating worms we usually find? Are there places where there are miners or places where there are no miners?"

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be connected to something in his mind. It seemed that where there were miners, he had never found a spirit swallowing insect.

The spirit-swallowing worm is not like a mummy. When it comes out, it moves slowly. It can give the miners time to call for help. It can easily kill these miners by spitting out a few mouthfuls of venom.

But it seems that such a thing has never happened. There is no precedent for the spirit-eating worms to attack miners, but what does all this have to do with the law of the appearance of the spirit-eating worms.

Mu Xinya said with a smug smile: "Did you think of something? Seeing your puzzled look, you must not be able to figure out the joints inside."

"Let me tell you, the spirit devouring insects naturally have to devour the raw ore of spirit stones to survive. You didn't see it, so I can only say that your work and rest time are different from theirs."

Xiao Chen suddenly understood, and immediately understood the joints, and said: "The two of us started to rest after the miners rested, which means that the spirit-eating insects will not come out to move around until we rest."

Mu Xinya nodded and said, "You can actually look at the problem from a different angle.

It was after the spirit-eating worms had a rest that the miners and we started to work, and after the spirit-eating worms came out to move, we began to rest. "

What Mu Xinya said is just an inversion of Xiao Chen's words, the superficial meaning is the same, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that the charm has completely changed.

Xiao Chen was not stupid, and quickly thought of the joints involved. The miners and their work time were not set randomly, but the people above set them according to the activity rules of the spirit swallowing insects.

The purpose is to avoid the activities of the spirit devouring insects, but why? The strength of the spirit-swallowing worms is not strong. Wouldn't it be better if they could be gathered together and wiped out in one go.

Ye Wen once said that the biggest enemy in this mine is not the mummified corpses, but the spirit devouring insects who live by devouring the raw ore of spirit stones.

Could it be that Marven Ye didn't tell the truth at the time? Xiao Chen thought a little, this little spirit-eating worm couldn't be hiding something tricky, right?

Mu Xinya leaned over and said strangely: "Brother Ye, tell me whether we should go out to collect merit points tonight, I guarantee that at least one hundred points can be obtained, as long as one night is enough."

This should be the reason why Mu Xinya came back so late last night. When Xiao Chen heard her proposal, his heart moved, but he immediately denied the idea, saying: "These are just your guesses. There is no evidence. In the future, I will say no more."

"But I..." Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't believe her words, Mu Xinya's lovely face became anxious.

Xiao Chen interrupted her, and said: "Don't worry about it, let's finish this month with peace of mind, I always feel a little unsafe staying here, it's better not to make extra troubles!"

Whoosh!

A piercing siren sounded quickly in the mine, the expressions of the two changed, and then they stopped the conversation and rushed towards the source of the sound.

Before I arrived, I ran into runaway miners on the road. Those miners staggered and hurriedly walked in the mine tunnel, looking a little weird.

Xiao Chen was shocked, the low-level mummies should not have such a great deterrent effect, they actually frightened these miners into such a state, so they hurriedly asked the supervisor.

The supervisor said with a pale face: "You two young adults, hurry up, I don't know what was dug up this time, but two mutated mummified corpses came out, half of our brothers died."

Xiao Chen frowned at the two mutated corpses, and fell into deep thought. The so-called mutated corpses were the ones that Ye Wen took a lot of effort to kill that day.

Today, two heads appeared at once. What kind of thing was dug up to bring out the two mutated corpses? Could it be a high-level spirit stone?

No matter what, I still have to check the situation first, and I can't listen to these people's one-sided words.

Let’s ignore these miners for the time being. With such a big incident, it is obviously unrealistic to ask them to mine today.

After taking out the map and asking the overseer where the incident happened, Xiao Chen immediately took Mu Xinya towards the place where the incident happened, and ran quickly, his consciousness spreading over two hundred meters around his body regardless of consumption.

"Stop!" Xiao Chen, who was advancing quickly, suddenly stretched out his hand, signaling Mu Xinya behind to stop, holding a map to check that there was only a distance of more than 600 meters away from the incident site.

More than 600 meters, for a martial artist in the realm of Wu Zun, it is just a few breaths.

The strength of the mutated mummy can be conservatively estimated to be that of a low-rank Wuzun. Xiao Chen didn't dare to be careless, if he rushed in rashly, he might lose his life if he was not careful.

Turning the consciousness into a thin thread, slowly let it in.

After a while, Xiao Chen saw the sight of the place where the incident happened. The messy ground was full of corpses of miners, and the hearts of the corpses were all pulled out.

There were bloodstains on the ground, Xiao Chen's consciousness turned around inside, but surprisingly, he didn't find the existence of the mummy.

Strange, where did these human-eating mummy go, Xiao Chen thought suspiciously, and searched the surroundings carefully with his consciousness, but still did not find the existence of mummy.

After repeatedly confirming the situation, Xiao Chen brought Mu Xinya to the scene of the incident, and began to look for the things that the group of miners said they had dug up.

Seeing so many miners die tragically for the first time, Mu Xinya's face was a little ugly, Xiao Chen patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't think too much, this kind of thing can't be avoided. According to the contract of life and death, if they die, their families will get a large amount of compensation."

"For them, there is no regret. They have already thought of this from the time they signed the life and death contract."

Mu Xinya's face was still a bit ugly, she forced a smile and said, "I know, hurry up and find out what they said!"

The two began to search around. Xiao Chen had shot many times with his divine sense before coming here, but he didn't find it. Now that I have come here personally and searched for it, I still haven't found what the supervisor said.

Could it be that the overseer was lying, or did he say that the two mummified corpses killed the man, and then took the dug up thing away?

Compared with the latter, Xiao Chen is more willing to believe the former, because if the answer is the latter, it means that these two mutant corpses already have simple spiritual intelligence.

If this is the case, it will be an extremely terrifying thing. A mummy with intelligence is much more difficult to deal with than a mummy without intelligence and only relying on instinct to fight.

If these two mummies lurked for a long time and kept cultivating in this mine, maybe their cultivation base would increase even more terrifyingly, and they would become like corpse kings. Xiao Chen felt a little shudder when he thought about it.

"Don't look for it, it's already obvious that the two mummified corpses took the things away." Xiao Chen said slowly, although he didn't want this answer in his heart, but all these things, the facts are already clearly in front of him .

It is impossible for the supervisor to lie to him, because there is no way for him to get out of this mine. If you lied to him, you will be punished immediately after finding out, unless he wants to die.

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he took Mu Xinya and rushed to the headquarters. Such a big thing happened, and it was beyond the two of them to solve it.

Seeing Ye Wen at the headquarters, Xiao Chen told Ye Wen everything in detail. Ye Wen frowned tightly and said, "Where did those miners who survived go?"

Xiao Chen replied: "Such a big thing happened, I let them go down to rest."

"Go to the collective dormitory and get the supervisor to meet me." Ye Wen turned around and ordered one person, and then said to Xiao Chen and the other two: "You are accompanying me to the place where the incident happened."

Running back and forth, everyone was a little dissatisfied, but Xiao Chen had no choice but to endure at the moment, and brought Ye Wen back to the scene of the incident again.

After arriving, Ye Wen began to examine carefully without saying a word. After a while, the person whom Ye Wen ordered to bring the supervisor came ran over anxiously.

"Elder Ye, I didn't find this group of people in the collective dormitory, and the miners who took turns off today, as well as the miners in other places, also said that they didn't see this group of people at all. I searched around myself, but I couldn't find them. People seem to disappear."

Xiao Chen's heart trembled, and he said in a low voice: "How is it possible!"

How could it disappear, he and Mu Xinya clearly saw it, and it was a large group of miners, Xiao Chen thought with great doubts in his heart.

Mu Xinya also said strangely, "Impossible, we saw at least twenty miners on the way, and the supervisor talked to us, how could he disappear."

Ye Wen pondered for a while and said, "Don't bother with this matter, I will send someone to investigate, and you continue to patrol."
